Do to ff.net's enforcement of the no author note chapters, I will be adding review responses to the END of the chapter, so if you don't want to read them, you don't have to scroll forever to find them. ^_^;
K:
Hi everyone! Thanks for all the reviews. I hope you all noticed I put the reply
reviews in a chapter prior to this one. ^_^
Yami K: No really.
K: Anyway, I hope you all enjoy this chapter!
Disclaimer: K doesn't own Yugioh or Harry Potter.
Yami K: So onto Chapter 5!
Chapter 5
Yugi walked nervously down the crowded street. His
gaze flickered over all the stores looking for the Leaky Cauldron. At first he
didn't see it, then he spotted it a small little
place, which it appeared most people took no notice of. Yugi
was here, alone, because his grandfather had declared although Yugi had managed to sucker him into allowing him to enter
Hogwarts, no amount of pleading would get Grandpa to London.
Yugi took a deep breath, praying for this Tom person
to be nice. There were several odd looking characters sitting at what appeared
to be a bar. Some wore pointed hats and most wore robes, like that of
Dumbledore's, only not nearly as fine. Dresses.
Yami snorted to Yugi.
A man working at the bar looked up at Yugi entered. Black, red, and blonde hair, big purple eyes, the man thought that
must be him. "Yugi Motou?"
The man asked smiling, Yugi's eyes widened and he
nodded. "My name is Tom, later I'm supposed to show you how to get into Diagon Alley to get your apothecary and such, but right
now, how about I show you your room?"
Diagon Alley? Apothecary? Yugi thought a bit frazzled. "That would be
nice," Yugi replied after a moment.
Tom motioned for Yugi to follow him up a rickety
flight of stairs. Tom led Yugi to a fairly small
room. Tom muttered something about coming back later and having customers
downstairs to attend to. Before Yugi could thank him,
Tom went back downstairs.
Yugi survey his room, it was indeed small, but it
looked clean. The bed appeared to have fresh blue sheets and a large fluffy
pillow. There was a tiny desk with an equally tiny chair. On one wall there was
a full-length mirror, this puzzled Yugi. /Why
would they put a mirror like that in a boarding room?/ Yugi
asked Yami, Yami shrugged
in response phasing out of the puzzle and becoming the translucent spirit only Yugi could see.
Yugi reached into his pocket and fingered at his
buckled necklace. His grandfather had insisted not to wear it because it might
frighten people. Frighten people, why would it do that? Yugi
walked in front of the mirror and prepared to put the necklace on.
"Don't bother, you look fine without it," came a wheezy voice out of
nowhere. Yelping Yugi jumped back surprised and
scared. "What's wrong? Never heard a mirror talk?" The voice said
with a wheezy laugh. /The mirror is talking../
Yugi mentally told Yami,
dumbfounded. "I've never seen a wizard with three different hair colors,
even with the aid of charms. You must tell me what charm did you use?"
"Ch.charm?" Yugi asked and then bolted
out the room Yami phasing into the puzzle on the way
out.
"Oh dear," the mirror said with an air of mourning, "I believe I
scared him."
Yugi reached the bottom of the stairs panting softly.
Tom noticed him and grinned cheerfully. "Well I suppose that means you are
ready to go right?"
"Ehh.not quite I left my money upstairs, I'll be
right back!" Yugi cried apologetically. Yugi entered his room, not looking at the mirror, and
grabbed his money. Turning around Yugi quickly left
the room with his head down, only to his surprise he ran into somebody who
inhaled quickly in surprise. "Sorry." Yugi
said as he went around the person.
"Yugi?" A familiar
lilting voice asked questioningly. Yugi looked up,
and into large sincere brown eyes wide with surprise. The boys white hair fell
to his shoulders and onto pale skin, his lean body stiff, undoubtedly from
travel.
"Ryou??!" Yugi asked in equal surprise. "What are you doing
here?"
"I could ask you the same question. Although we are
probably here for the same reason. Dark lords, witchcraft, muggles, curses, and who knows what else." Ryou answered smiling softly. "I was just heading
downstairs to get a tour of something called Dragoon Alleyway."
"Diagon Alley? Me too" Yugi supplied.
"Yes that," Ryou replied. Together the two
boys walked down the stairs to a waiting Tom.
"Oh I see you boys have met already. I suppose that saves me the trouble
of introducing you two right?" Tom said smiling.
"Come."
Tom led Ryou and Yugi
through the crowd, which had doubled since Yugi had
entered the Leaky Cauldron. Yugi spotted a back door
probably leading out to the backyard or Alley. Tom opened the door and motioned
for Yugi and Ryou to follow
him. Tom strode over to a brick wall and stood in front of it, turning to face
the two newcomers.
"This boys, is the entrance to Diagon Alley,
please watch closely while I open it so next time you can do it on your
own." Tom pulled out a thin, long, pale stick of wood with a handle on it.
Tom tapped the tip onto certain bricks, in a certain order, and almost
immediately the bricks began rearranging themselves creating a large door way.
"Welcome to Diagon Alley." Tom stated as if
it was the most normal thing in the world.
Yugi gaped; looking into Diagon
Alley was like looking into another world. There were crowds of people ranging
from old to young most wearing robes. There were owls flying all around
overhead, cats slinking through the crowds and the STORES. There appeared to be
one for brooms, another for wands. It was amazing, it was wonderful, it was completely and totally unbelievable. Yet, here it
was, he was here, in Diagon Alley.
K:
I hope everyone liked this chapter! I promise I'll try to get the next chapter
out in a few days!
Yami K: Please review, as always any comments,
suggestions, or questions are welcomed.
K:
Here are my review responses for.Chapter 3 and 4.
There were so many and because of a very good suggestion I decided to put in
the review responses in specific chapters marked as such.
Yami K: K's going to
respond to the reviews in the order in which she received them, so don't mind
if you happen to be somebody who review twice, there will be two separate
responses to make sure she doesn't forget anyone.
K: So here we go:
Chapter 3:
Bulan-cham- Me thinks Ryou
and Bakura will be in this, not quite sure how they
will work in yet, probably next chapter. ^_^ I'm glad you liked it.
Behold the void: Yah that isn't really part of the story itself, just my author
notes to let everyone know whats going on, new
chapters, etc. I do it that way because some people find it much more,
palatable (easier to have to read, rather than it being a chore), than lists or
just a solid chapter. Yah ^_~ I've been known to skip them a lot myself. Yup,
you're right **nods** that review wasn't a flame, just stating your opinion. ^_^
Thank you very much for your review!
eisha2791: Thanks, I guess that means you liked it! ^-^
Takara Pegasus: I'm happy you loved it. ^-^
Alaena: Thanks, yah your right, now that I look back
at it, ^-^;;; I see another way I could have done it
which may have been much more interesting. Oh well, can't change the past. ^-^
Melissa: Thank you for the review! Glad you like!
Lady Yami: ^-^ Oh yes VERY convincing, o_o; Yes your review was very.interesting,
heh. Glad you liked!
Kanatasha: I guess that means you like it! ^_^ I get
out new chapters as fast as I can write them decently. ^-^
Phantom: He probably guesses, Dumbledore is very clever so I'm sure he suspects
something is going on. Modern day wizards know very little about the millennium
items and the ancient magic because it was a "dark" age, the world
was almost destroyed if it hadn't been for Yami
sealing the "magic" away. Yes, ancient magic is more powerful that
"regular" magic. Ummmm..
I'm leaning toward yes; Yugi and Yami
can summon duel monsters here. Thank you for the review!
Ryulabird: Who me? **Innocent look** Ehhh, gomen, sometimes I can't
help but put cliffhangers, I'll try not to put too many more in. ^_~ (Yami K: Famous last words K: Shush.)
Kylie Alyssa Potter Kaiba: I'm glad you love it!
CereliaAsh: I'm happy you think my story is good. ^_^
Thanks for your review!
darkspellcaster: Thanks.
Thanks. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks. (One thanks for each
great ^_~ lol) I'm happy you liked my story so much!
Phoenix of Burning
Light: I'm glad you loved it. **Cough** Yaoi is a
term for boy love, guy love, a relationship between to males, etc. Thanks for
your reviews!
Yami's Girl 3000: Thanks! Yes, Yugi
will indeed meet Harry and some other familiar people in the story,
it won't be much longer, probably in a chapter or two. ^_^ Can't
have a Harry Potter/Yugioh crossover with out Harry!
^-^
Lady Yami: Yes, he's going to Hogwarts, bet no one
saw THAT coming, ^_~
Amy: Thank you! I'm glad you like it.
ryulabird: Yup, they're going
to Hogwarts. Oooh, I can't say which house they are
going to be in yet, because to be honest, I'm not quite sure yet ^- ^. LOL! Huffleclaw, I like it, heh.
rayne: I'm glad you liked
it. Ryou (Bakura), and Bakura (Yami Bakura)
probably will be in this story, I'm just not sure how or if I'll work them in.
I'll have to consider it. ^_^
Phoenix of the
Burning Light: Glad you liked it!
The Legendary Centurion: I'm happy you find it interesting. ^_^
Thanks for your review.
Arian Starswing: LOL, I can hear Yami
saying that as well. ^_^ Glad you liked it!
K: Whew that was a lot of review replies huh? Thanks everyone for all the
reviews! ^_^
